Okay, the reason for the spam is the same as the reason that comments weren't working: The blacklist got corrupted. Why people could still spam when I couldn't comment at all, I don't know.
I've realoaded the blacklist now (I quickly trimmed 4000 unnecessary entries first), so we should be back in business.

Yuck.
